Angina with activity but test results normal - thoughts?

I am hoping someone can help me with this.

I am a 35 y.o. male. In 2002, I was experiencing angina with exertion and a subsequent heart cath which showed 70% blockage of my LAD. Stent was placed and I've been on metroprolo, lipitor, plavix, and aspirin since. I've also lost 40+ pounds. But two months ago, I started experiencing variable angina (Prinzmetal) in the morning which went away with Nitro. And with exertion I am now experiencing angina again. The sensation is exactly like it was in 2002 and goes away with Nitro/rest. In fact the pain is worse. I went in for a nucular treadmill test and everything looked "fine". The pains continued. I just completed a 64x2 slice CT scan and my cardiologist says that everything is clear. No sign of restenosis in the stent. He says that one aretery might be ~30% blocked. He thinks the pains are GI related. But this is the same feeling as 2002, only on exertion, AND goes away with Nitro.

Any idea what is causing this pain? I have been under a greater than normal amount of stress lately but this pain is well, adding to my stress.

If you look up Plavix there is a class action suit brought against the company. You never take asprin with plavis. This will cause heart attacks or stroke. Maybe this is your trouble. Look up on computer Plavix side effects.
